Researched material (Map 2): Eastern Rhodopes Mountains: south and south-western of Ivaylovgrad, Plevun ( MF19 ), Kostilkovo ( MF28 ), Dolno Lukovo ( MF28 ), 200-300 m alt., 25 specimens, 11.11.2001, leg. GEORGIEV ; about 30 кm north-east of Kardjali, between Silen and Dolno Botevo (LG91), 250-300 m alt., 1 specimen, 20.03.2004 leg. IRIKOV .
The really distribution of M. carascaloides in Bulgaria still remain indistinct. All investigated anatomically specimens from Black Sea Coast southerly of Bourgas are found to belong to M. solidior (see M. solidior researched material and Map 2). Also M. carascaloides don’t meet in the Chepelarska River Valley in Western Rhodopes Mountains and the all reports concern M. claustralis (see M. claustralis researched material and Map 2). There is needful anatomical examination of specimens from the all localities reported for north Black Sea Coast and for the central part of the country also. Probably lots of the data concern M. solidior , but not M. carascaloides . For the time being M. carascaloides certainly present in the region of Eastern Rhodopes Mountains in South Bulgaria.
Shell ( Fig. 7 View Fig ): Measurements (n = 25), D: 14.1-18.7 mm, x 16.68 mm; H: 9.2-13.0, x = 11.08 mm; D/H 1.4-1.7 mm, x = 1.5 mm.
Genitalia ( Fig. 1): The measurements of some sections of the genitalia are compiled in Table 2 and the variation of the proportions of some sections of the genitalia is represent in Table 3.
Vertical distribution: registered in Bulgaria from 0 m alt. to low areas in the Mountains. Probably only occasionally may be found at 600 m alt by reason of the thermophilic characterization.
Ecological data: The species distributed in Bulgaria near by the Black Sea region and in the internal areas of the country, with predominance of xerotermal conditions in the summer and soft brief winter.
Xerophilic, thermophilic, drought-resistant species.
Zoogeography: Asia Minor subelement, Subiranian element, Soutwestern Asiatic complex.
